disband public schools

 

[Woodznutz]

More money can improve conditions in the schools and the neighborhoods. More police patrols, better teacher pay, etc.

Motivation can.

Motivation can.

that doesnt take money,,

 

[Woodznutz]

Money can improve motivation by improving the school buildings and hiring better teachers, making the street safer. Separate motivated students from the others is also key.

School choice solves the problem

 

[Woodznutz]

Lots of crime in the inner city makes it difficult for young blacks to get a decent education.

Send in the National Guard.

The more they spend the worse they do in fact urban schools spend the most and have the worst results

Private schools cost money. I assume you want to pay for it with tax dollars. Enjoy paying taxes to your local Madrassa or cult school.

They often cost LESS than a government school.

That's all due to money. I once taught in a school that was built in 1927.

Yes, because the money is instead funneled to hacks and their various coatholders.

Where did you get that stupid idea? The primary funding for schools is property tax, and school districts usually align with city and county governments. You have no clue as to what you are talking about. Every school district I taught in, with the exception of the military dependent's schools, was a county district. I taught in 7 districts in two states,

I taught in two major metro areas and several rural districts. The funding was set by property tax by the county they were in. In Louisville, they have a combined city and county government. That was the same in Jacksonville, FL.

Whooppee.. Yee-ha. Woo hoo. Are you attempting to make some sort of POINT?

They do not cost more per student, dumbass! I have a master's degree in educational leadership which means I have graduate level courses in school finance taught by one of the country's leading experts. What are your qualifications?

Now you're just lying. NYC spendy $38,000 per student, for dismal results. Chicago spends $29,000 with a huge, bloated bureaucracy and poor results. Baltimore spends $21,000 and has a near-total failure rate, with many students graduating functionally illiterate and innumerate.

They just have to spend the money on the motivated kids.

What have you done for underprivileged children? Anything

What have YOU?

 

[Hafar1014]

What have YOU?

I ran an after school soccer program and made a difference in their lives. Sports can do that. With my background in child development and I was a professional soccer coach I was perfect fit. Thats why Super Soccer Stars recruited me out of retirement.
So what have you done

So nothing

Soccer? Ah yes, every inner city kid's ticket out!

Know why every nonathletic yahoo loves to cry "soccer's the most popular sport in the world!"? Because anyone with feet can do it. Don't get me wrong, it's a nice pastime for girls.

I've been teaching at inner city high schools for 30 years. As for coaching, I'm head wrestling coach for all the high schools in my city. I'm now training my own son.

There were a lot of Hispanics in the program. Try it some time its not so easy. The tactics change by the second, you have to creative, forward thinking, have a lot of stamina, and run for 45 minutes

Ah yes, jogging, kicking. Athletic excellence. That's why the starving, impoverished of the third world can be found kicking a clod of dirt around anywhere in the world.

...Who cares where the money comes from

The people providing the money care.

Experience proves that is not so.
